h^2+8h-60=0

Solution for h^2+8h-60=0 equation:

h^2+8h-60=0

a = 1; b = 8; c = -60;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·1·(-60)
Δ = 304
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$h_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$h_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{304}=\sqrt{16*19}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{19}=4\sqrt{19}$
$h_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-4\sqrt{19}}{2*1}=\frac{-8-4\sqrt{19}}{2}
$
$h_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+4\sqrt{19}}{2*1}=\frac{-8+4\sqrt{19}}{2}
